You know when you walk up to an NPC over and over and they have a list of different phrases to say? “You’re stronger than you believe” “You keep doubting yourself Diana” “You have greater powers than you know” Yeah.
I honestly think it’d be far better if Ares didn’t show up at the end, it’d just fit the themes better if she was simply wrong about Ares’ involvement and had to accept that at the end.
Absolutely agree, also the fight scene was boring as shit but I i dont think we should blame the director because it was probably the higher ups who decided that must happen
I agree they could have justified that guy's stupid magic pills by making him the final villain. He could have been like Bane and his overuse of the drug could kill him after Diana spares him in the end.
I cried when Wonder Woman teamed up with Charles Stiles to stop Aries from cheating at the Cheesys Grilled Cheese Challenge. Everyone broke down in tears, Emmy worthy scene.
Towards the last 20 minutes I thought I started crying but it was just my eyes bleeding Ralph are you trying to make dinosaurs go extinct because you're doing a good job that joke is killing me
I feel like Patty Jenkins probably wanted the more simple ending because the film was clearly building up to the message about the gray morality of war. But I'm sure that Warner Bros was like "that's not big enough bad guy fight need to happen durrr"
Its a big problem with Hollywood in general. Lots of movies that have the main conflict being an emotional one between two close characters or the character trying to overcome their own flaws always stuff a big cliche villain in for the climax.
Germans probably thought that it was pretty unfair for Brits having the Wonder Woman on their side in the First World War, but nobody would listen if you told them you lost the war because a bulletproof woman smashed your lines and destroyed your super weapon project, so they just blamed Jews for the defeat and then they wanted to a rematch. And that's how Wonder Woman indirectly caused the Second World War and Holocaust.
Ralph: "Towards the last 20 minutes or so I thought I was crying but then I checked and it was just my eyes bleeding" I cried in the theater while watching the movie honestly... Oh no, not because it was emotional it was because we finally got color in a dceu film.
I was sad when Steve died although I wish they change the ending and also the villain doctor poison motivations and maker a complex or the character like Magneto is to Charles Xavier
batman Inconsistency? In a DCEU movie? Dude it’s all good the film more than makes up for it by adding an incredibly hard to see, in the dark fight between Superman and Batman.
Why is the character development of ralph and fake zack snyder in the middle of a wonder woman review so intensely compelling???? 10/10 would cry at wonder woman review again
I was with this movie until the last 10 minutes. Whole thing built to the point that killing one guy won't stop the war and that real problems are more nuanced. Then the bad guy she had to kill shows up literally twirling his mustache.
I think having Ares show up could have been ok idea, if it was still 1916 or 1917, with the twist that it wasn't Ares who caused the WW I, but WW I that drawn Ares. This way his death doesn't end the war, but the movie still gets its climactic CGI battle.
Pretty much, yeah. There were some issues I had with it (like the beach fight, I felt that thing was terrible staged, it made the amazons look like idiots for giving up their position), but those were mostly minor flaws I could have accepted with they had pulled off the ending. I would put Wonder Woman on one level with Ironman 3, which is also a movie which mostly works for me until the last 20 minutes really mess everything up.
Like dood, I LITERALLY had a waterfall of tears cuz it was so heartbreaking when a womyn appeared on screen like for realsies I’m just tearing up thinking about it. Yea what happened exactly? Oh look it’s the Amazon island wowww. What is there to cry about anywhere? From the same crowd that screams at the top of their lungs when there’s a minor twist in a thingy they’re watching. “OMGGG!!!” *Throws everything around room* is usually the procedure.
@@mattrogersftw It wasn't "at one point" - both sides did it pretty much right around the same time. The Germans technically held the first attack but it was a disaster that exposed their own lines to the chemical agent. The only bad folks in the war were the ones in charge, which is why so many empires wouldn't exist by the end of the war as their own people turned on them and created new countries in their place.
Boaz Sardjoe Ironically, the only guy who didn’t want to blame Germany for the war afterwards was the American President. It’s funny how things have gotten kinda switched around.
I fell out of my chair laughing when you showed they reused the same shot of her jumping into the bell tower for the last shot, and then the production budget.
xunknowedx Oh god that was laughably bad. I still think that the perfect way for this movie to end would be if they cut back to present day and it’s shown she was telling her story to Bruce Wayne.
I think the Reason this Movie was so well received was because this is a) easily the best Superhero Movie with a female main Lead (Which is a pretty low bar to set) and b) probably the best DCEU Movie (also a a pretty low bar). It's like comparing rotten Food with Shit.
I agree. If you compare this to MCU movies, it would be a nice effort, but just okay. I found many of the fight scenes in Wonder Woman as disjointed as the fight scenes in all other DCEU movies. A lot of tight shots with few wide establishing shots and when they do cut wide, it never really lines up with the close shot. Continuity is bad. Characters are in poses or position impossible based on the close angle. I don’t know exactly, just don’t flow like MACU fight scenes. It’s easy to get lost and not know who is hitting who. When compared to other DCEU movies, this is a masterpiece. A good analogy, “compare rotten food to shit”.
So Wonder Woman is fast food, Man of Steel is expired food, Justice League is fecal matter. I'd say Suicide Squad was throw-up, and Dawn of Justice was a placenta left in the sun.
@sudha bhatt I cannot fathom how one can enjoy Wonder Woman more than Guardians 2. Guardians 2 has like a flawless script, every single character has a payoff or at least grows over time, it's got humor, it's got themes, it's got a stellar cast, and it makes you cry for the death of a blue guy that was a secondary antagonist in the last movie.
Idea: Wonder Woman storms the trenches and slays most of the Germans, but after she is done she looks upon the carnage. These are conscripts given guns, not warriors. Some can be bleeding out, other crying out for god or mother or whatever, and there's this one German holding his dying friend while he points a gun at WW. She doesn't do anything, she feels pity, sadness, and disgust for herself. Then the allied soldiers kill the remining Germans and even the wounded ones while Chris Pratt kills the one pointing a gun at WW. Thus she learns this isn't the glory of war she has experienced by brutal and cruel
Another idea: Wonder Woman finds that despite her best efforts she hasn't managed to quell mankind's warlike nature. However, she can provide a better example for the human race. Cut to the final scene: an older Steve Trevor fights alongside his men in World War II. Everything seems hopeless until an Angel-of-Mons-type figure appears to save the lives of his men. Eh? Eh?
Man this would be really cool since it could become so inspired by wartime literature like Night by Elie Wiesel or The Book Thief (these involve WW2 but still). It's a disappointment that they only acknowledge a theme but don't do something like you've done and try to flesh it out. The point of having characters and plot is to use it to really show what you are trying to say without explaining it blatantly, so the audience can really take it in and experience what you want them to know. Well done dude
I agree with Ralph's rant around the halfway point. I thought Wonder Woman would end with her skewering Ludendorff, realizing he isn't Ares/that Ares doesn't exist at all... Chris Pine would have his same speech about how the real evil behind the war is just in men, and then the movie would end on a sad note... Diana would go into hiding in London, learn that Steve and his squad got killed disposing of the nerve gas plane... It all weighs on her for years and years, but it emboldens her by the time Justice League comes around. Would've been more moving that way, I feel.
One thing I've always liked about Ralph's reviews is that even though he critically shreds movies apart, he understands why people can enjoy it and mentions that
Everyone was talking about the No Mans Land scene like it was the second coming of Christ, but when I saw it...I was just like “oh....okay.” It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t the best scene in the movie like everyone claimed it was. Edit: I also hated the plot twist because I REALLY wanted the plot twist to be that Ares wasn’t in this movie, and that people were just shitty. It seemed to undercut what could’ve been a pretty good message.
Ngl, but I kept thinking of those stock movie scenes that'd be in a movie when the characters are at the movie theater since the music was way over dramatic and the cliched dialogue and the whole bit especially with a big star like Chris Pine, and everything lol
It would've been a way better plot twist, if Chris Pine would've been Ares, betraying her, it would've given great conflict in the Justive League, where she would have massive trust issues or something.
or they never use and waste ares in that film, and focus on making the human villains better. in that way they wouldnt waste 3 villains and the message wouldnt lost its value
Eren Jaegar I don't see why not. Family Guy does this shit all the time and people still find it funny somehow. (I'm kidding, that is the worst aspect of that show, even back in the good seasons)
The “love” monologue at the end made me grown audibly in the theater. Having the one female superhero movies final message about how “love can only truly save the world” made me barf. Like every woman needs love to defeat anything. Also the end of the movie going against everything Chris Pine said at the end pissed me off I appreciate you pointing that out.
Gotta love how the movie totally discards and then goes against it's entire message and theme right at the climax. -__- If not for that sheer fucking atrocity of writing, I'd have actually been able to overlook all the other flaws.
I’m honestly so glad someone agrees with me? I left the cinema /so/ disappointed, and I was honestly confused to how it gained so many positive reviews. As a girl, I wanted a strong female character to look to, and as a movie lover, I wanted a good film, and I didn’t get either. As you said, she’s flawless- which makes her difficult to relate to. Personally, I’d prefer someone who has flaws, and isn’t perfect, so I’m not looking up to something plastic. Secondly, as you said, I instantly noticed there was little to no development, or story arc. I compared the movie to Iron Man, where Tony isn’t Iron Man at the start- far from it, he has to /earn/ his title, through hardship. Wonder Woman was very much; “oh wow! I have special bracelets” “oh wow! I can wield swords and shields” “oh wow! I can walk across no man’s land”. She didn’t earn her power or title, it was given to her when she didn’t deserve it. Lastly, it was just .. boring. I wanted to leave the cinema at multiple points during the film. I could forgive some of its mistakes if I was entertained, but I wasn’t. (Also, don’t get me started on the ending. I was hoping, so badly, that at least it would follow through with it’s message of her naivety, and that killing one man wouldn’t end the war. I was going to forgive it - and it completely screwed me over). Before anyone gets mad at me, I tried to like this film, I really did. I can easily see the appeal to young girls, and casual fans, but there are so many flaws that I find it difficult to overlook them. If you enjoy this film, good for you! I don’t shame you at all, you have every right to like it.
Trick Fewell because of progressive bias in Hollywood. They wanted this movie to do well because it helps feminism or some shit apparently.

She is a greek demi godess of course she's going to be over powered... She was very naive, isnt that an interesting flaw that you can work and create discussion with the other characters with?
@Trick, Wonder Woman does get development in the movie. There's her struggle to help people, while keeping a balance in doing what's right, but not turning to the dark side like Aeres.
What bugged me was that fact that Wonder Women never respected or reasoned with Chris Pine. Like Chris Pine says "don't go out there it will give away our cover." And she goes "No, I will do what's right." Then runs out. It was just annoying.
That's what happens when you set peoples expectations that low. That's kinda what happened with Star Wars too, The new movies might not be amazing but at least they're not the prequels.
slykiller534 I'm torn on it. It felt entertaining to watch and it had that Star Wars feel, but it made Kylo the main villain, which he wasn't ready for and it made Rey the biggest Mary Sue ever. She has zero training and she's supposed to be like the best Jedi ever. That makes no sense.
My main problem with this movie was how much they disregarded the historical setting. I mean for fucks sake saying its set in world war one then having a poster of her holding a tank that wasn't entered into service until 1926 is pretty fucking egregious.
THE BRAIN SPECIALIST In addition: British and French troops were sitting in the same trench Chris Pine was flying an eindecker plane, IN 1918! Ludendorff, a real person, was for some reason an evil cunt (I mean, why Ludendorff and not von Hindenburg? It just seems like they randomly picked him out of a history textbook without doing any research, not to mention the fact that they should have probably just made up the villain) French borders on maps were entirely inaccurate for the period And many, many more...
Jurassicparkrules96 I expect people to do basic research, I'm not asking for Saving Private Ryan style accuracy, just basic things, like idk not having a tank that was entered into service 8 years after the war the movie is set in on the poster.
I would have had the twist be that there was no ares, and that the amazonians made it up because they didn’t want her to know that this world is very complicated.
Sputterbugz yeah it would've been great but instead we got two twist that were predictable. Wonder Woman being the weapon and that old mustache guy who is ares.
They didn't even experienced the moral complexity of the war. The Germans the she killed were just soldiers. Soldiers! Following orders. She didn't even try to save a single one of them. Just blasted them all. And not fucking single scratch comes on her for whole movie
Y'all seem to forget that WW2 happens after WW1. The world is still complicated because Ares was right. Ares was already dead at that point. A lot of people say that what Wonder Woman said at the beginning of Justice League doesn't make sense. Why would she leave humanity behind when the war already ended and Ares was dead? Because (surprise surprise) *WW2 happened* and it was more bloody and deadly that the previous one Not really completely defending the movie (especially her acting because she could be the next Tommy Wiseau) (except some parts that are actually good). Just want to clarify about this "plot hole" everyone keeps claiming and also how "pointless" Ares was in the film
I get the feeling that the Wonder Woman movie was originally supposed to take place in World War 2, but then somebody realized that it would make it TOO close to the first Captain America movie. The thing is that during WW1, there weren't any real political or ideological differences between the different sides. It would have been interesting to see Wonder Woman reacting to seeing the Allied forces using chemical weapons on the German soldiers, or to learn that the reason for the entire war that had killed hundreds of thousands was that this one guy got assassinated and he was married to this one woman whose family were the rulers of this other country. The soldiers in WW1 weren't really fighting for much of a cause other than the leaders of their countries were involved in some really complex alliances that were the result of intermarrying. So instead of trying to portray it in a more complex way, they just decided to make the Germans evil like they were Nazis and then also threw in impossibly advanced weapons because it worked well in Captain America.
Not only would that have been seen as spitting all over the source material, but it also would’ve meant that all the mystical elements of the film would’ve been left completely unexplained.
Was anyone annoyed that she's fighting this battle against another supernatural being, with fire, explosions and yet she still looks flawless throughout the whole thing? No scrapes, smudged makeup, no grime, no nothing?! Look at the end of Frodo and Sam's journey in Return of The King, they did it right by showing the characters' appearance to be tattered, dirty, with tear streaks, chapped lips and shit, their faces reflecting the hardship they went through.
Spider Kid exactly my point! Those characters are shown as capable of being hurt despite their superhero nature. This Diana goes out in the middle of a World War I battlefield and squares up to a god and finishes it looking flawless.
Ok, I'm just gonna say that at least ONE soldier in that scene where she burst into that room and was surrounded would think to shoot her in the head. There was like five guys in there at point blank range, and she clearly had no helmet (weird tiara thing doesn't count because it covers nothing). She also waited about 10 seconds before moving, so yeah, they would have easily blasted her brains out.
There's this frat video by Nando v Movies called "Disarming Ares" that I advise everyone disappointed with the use of Ares in this film go check out. It's essentially trying to sell the viewers on a rewrite of his entire role in the film, and what is offered sounds infinitely more intriguing and satisfying than what we got.
Gamora is a good example. She's badass and it does not need to be shoved in your face every five seconds that she's a woman. There are amazing female characters that are good because of the character not their gender. I feel like this movie was advertised entirely on the fact that she's a woman.
His sub-stories are so goddamn entertaining. That shit with Zach Snyder-especially that final clip of him leaving Zach on the phone smiling-wasn’t just funny, but had like, emotional weight to it. Ralph is an exceptionally gifted film maker and story teller for sure.
I think it's funny that this movie acts like germany was full of nazis even before WWII when the aftermath of WWI was what drove germany into fascism. Germany was originaly not even fighting the war for themselves, yet the germans are war hungry madmen who get manipulated by a war god in this movie. And speaking of Ares, that's some horrible casting.
France and England intentionally ruined Germany in the peace treaty after the war in an effort to cripple and potentially even destroy them. It all dates back to Holy Roman Empire politics, you know, important stuff schools totally don't know how to teach, or even bother discussing... But yeah that backfired horribly...
planescaped Eyup. I really don't get why this isn't as well known when World War 2 gets tought or at least mentioned in every major country. I'm happy I know about it, since I am german. World War 1 and 2 are both huge parts of our history that make up a huge part of our history lessons to ensure it's not forgotten. But I think being german should not be the requirement to know the full story. You would think at least the other involved countrys would spend comparable time teaching it.
General Ludendorff and Dr. Poison were the only major German players that were war-hungry madmen in the movie. There's a scene near the beginning of the second act where Ludendorff gases an entire room of German higher-ups that want to sign the Armistice and end the war because they've been crippled by it. One of Ludendorff's advisers mentions that going forward with the conflict won't work because all of their soldiers haven't eaten or slept, and I know that I'm saying this about German soldiers, I'm well aware, but they were just following orders. Yeah, I probably could have phrased that better.
Von and it's not like they had the option of not fighting. As a normal citizen, you either had the choice of dying on the battlefield as a supposed "hero" or in prison as a traitor.
Ludendorff was kind of a Nazi. Well, a fascist and a white supremacist. He was one of Hitler’s political rivals. Although I don’t like their portrayal of him as a crazy angry evil Nazi person. As a history buff, it really rubbed me the wrong way.
I feel like people are trying too hard to create 'good' female characters. Sure, getting more females into movies and other media is noble, but doing that at the cost of the character and writing only perpetuates the lack of interesting female characters.
Up is the character that was underdeveloped . this film was marketed to DEATh. of course it was never going to recoup the money the studios spent on it
Declan Nolan it is pretty sad. I wish there were more iconic female characters that are just characters, not Strong Female Characters™. Meaning, I wish people just wrote strong characters that are also female. But because it's forced it kills the intention
I saw this at a drive-in with my estranged father and was fucking bored the whole time but couldn't put my finger on why. I immediately went home and told my sister "i can't wait till Ralph comes out with a video on this movie"
I'd just like to say something about the picture you showed of wonder woman holding up that tank First of all, that's a T-28 that was made in Soviet Russia. Second, the T-28 is twice the size it is in the picture. Third, a single T-28 prototype was done by 1931, production didn't start till 1933. The move takes place in at latest 1917 France. The only turreted tank in the world at that point was the FT-17, which was a two person tank even smaller than the T-28 is shown in the picture. At least that one was French. I'm counting that up as a "Hey Jerry find us a tank that she can be holding up" "Okay what were those tanks like?" "I think they had multiple turrets" (They had multiple guns but not turrets) if you google "multi turreted tank" you'll mostly find T-28's and variants and a few M3 Lee memes. Case solved.
the WW1 aspect bothered me - it was a very messy war with no real bad guy and no good guy, it was just war. they had a chance to play this as a really interesting story having the Germans not be generic evil nazi's but they did -_x
I too feel like they just sed WW1 as a backdrop with a bare bones explanation as to why Dyana was there . Lieut. Luddendorff was just a prop. I can think of many scenes that need to be edited down to a few sec in favor of character development for the nazi characters. They made appear so one dimensional. it was terrible.
Mankind was the villain. Not Ludendorf, Doctor Poison Ares, or even the Germans. Yes. Even history would try to paint the Germans as the bad guys, but the British let their soldiers, and innocent people in Veld, die in order to preserve the armistice. I'm not talking history either. This is in the film. Wonder Woman tries to prevent this and can't. She learns that all men are capable of the worst atrocities, but they are also good. She participated in the bloodshed, and she refused to kill people again after she killed Ares. She witnessed a century of horrors and allowed it to continue, because she refused to add to it. This is the second darkest DC Film behind Batman v Superman.
Yea I felt the same with ralph also, how most of these soldiers were forced to go into war and how most of them were 18-20 year old men, but no, she kills them mercilessly
The Austrio-Hungarian Empire were the victims if anything. Not to mention that it was France and England's fucking of them so hard after WW1 that directly led to the rise of fascism in Germany and WW2. Then there's the Ottoman Empire being forcibly dismantled and it's borders redrawn to cause the most internal conflict possible in the middle east in a knowing and intentional effort to halt the rise of another Ayyubid/Abbasid/Fatmid/Ottoman Caliphate... yeah. Good Job Allies! Though I can't blame them too much for fucking over the Middle East so completely. Muslims being scary isn't a new thing...
A bit late to the party but, yes, what you said about posing prevented me from watching this. Even in trailers, i couldn't stomach it. Literally everything I've seen suffered from being shot in a way that would be cringe-inducing even for a parody of a hero movie. It's so forced and overly expressive that it made me uncomfortable. I wouldn't be surprised if there are scenes in the movie where Gal Gadot orders food in McDonald's in some theatrically epic fashion. Have you guys watched Bedazzled? You know the Sunset scene? Well, somehow, Wonder woman goes beyond that and not only that, it goes beyond that in every shot.
@@dignerds lmao miss me with that wonder woman pic and that's the point guess what people have different tastes than you and I for one quite enjoy Ralph and he has the right to be "pretensious" because he is a movie maker as his name suggests and they are great so he has perspective on movies none of us do and I wasn't even taking about Ralph I was replying to the comment above my first one
@@PanzerPlant Well...one of the MANY things this piece of shit UA-camr got wrong is "Fighting a woman".....Diana wasn't fighting a woman ...she was fighting Ares....
if it was because she was a child they wouldn't say she can "never" know the truth, they'd say something about making sure she can have a real childhood, or to not burden or confuse her in her youth. Bad writing. Actually, fucking terrible writing. ACTUALLY should be illegal writing.
After the general was proven not be Ares I thought that it would turn out that Ares didn't even exist, like idk maybe he died or was never real in the first place and Diana had to actually learn something from it. Still think that would be better.
Because it would trip up the character's understanding of reality if a person that was supposed to be a scapegoats for men's foibles didn't exist. She would actually have to accept that fact. An alternative would be that Aries does exist but was never involved and the movie hinted that he was doing something else or nothing at all.
Thank you so fucking much for putting this up. I've been attacked for weeks for saying the same thing and wondering why nobody else noticed it. People seem to think I should love this sub-par movie because I'm a woman and I should be empowered, and some of my female friends actually got legitimately angry and disappointed at me for disliking it. Which is pretty damn sexist in itself. I'm sorry that it takes more than just putting a woman in the lead to make me think a movie is great. Critically, its just not that good. Am I happy to see a leading lady? Yes. But is that going to make me ignore all of the obvious flaws in this film? Fuck no. Thanks again, Ralph. I've been waiting for someone to say it, and you've said it all extremely well. Sincerely, That One Bitch That Didn't Like Wonder Woman
Bella Rose Lewis thank you I feel same way about this movie An black movies just because there black or a women doesn’t mean I’m going to love the damn movie. An I don’t need ppl trying to pressure me into liking because I’m a woman or black . How silly is that .
Amen to that! That is completely ridiculous. People shouldn't be limited to only liking certain movies. We should just be allowed to like what we like. End of story.
I appreciate that she had charisma and seemed to be really trying giving the role 100% but I don't think she had the talent or expirience to pull off a lead role quite yet. It seemed her appearance fit the role much more than her acting skills did, which is pretty disappointing and ironic for a film that was meant to begin a movement for strong female roles in Hollywood.
DC movies have set the bar so low that all Wonder Woman had to do was be competent to get people to like it. Also, in case anyone was wondering, the porn star who played Wonder Woman is Romi Rain.
@@joejitsu034 Just because you're not interested is no reason to call someone fat and ugly (I bet you're fun at parties). Also pro tip: Don't call people specimen. It just makes you sound like Jimmy Neutron if he was an asshole.
I'm glad women feel properly represented by this movie, because as a German I feel fucking offended by this. Germany was NOT a Nazi state in WW1. Germans, just like EVERYONE ELSE IN EUROPE, were excited about the war initially and wanted it to be a glorious victory to parade in. But what everyone got out of this war was a miserable meatgrinder that killed thousands upon thousands of Soldiers who didn't even to be there.
Germany wasn’t portrayed as a Nazi state in the movie. The only German who was depicted as being evil was Ludendorff. The very end of the movie showed German soldiers hugging one another.
@@adama.7735 No. They are predicted as evil in this movie. Where are the allies war crimes in this movie? Where does it show the allies gassing a town full of German civilians?
Some of your best work to date. I appreciate your analysis and the creative structure of your videos. Weaving a multi-video story-arc into this video with referential easter eggs is clever. Cohesive editing, subtle use of background music, and over-all script are particularly good.
Ben Blurganson which is good that she didn't say that. It just goes to show that the movie making aren't manhaters. By the way when I was walking into this movie I thought it was going to be some man hating feminist garbage but it was actually not. I was surprised
If they wanted to be real ballsy, they should've made Steve Ares, I mean yeah, it isn't comic accurate, but it'll probably be better than professor Lupin
What's worse is that they bizarrely chose to make take Ludendorff, an actual historical WWI German general, and turn him into a villain. And the one in the movie is nothing like his historical counterpart. Hell, in the movie Ludendorff wants to continue the war. But historically he was one of the first to convince the Kaiser the war was lost.

This movie gave me Vietnam flashbacks for Sonic 06'.
Honestly out the most frustrating part of this movie was the portrayal of world war 1 era Germany as essentially Nazi Germany
Good point
I’d never considered that... but you’re right!
Or just the portrayal of World War I in general. She would have died immediately after sticking her head out of the trench.
1000% wrong but how would u know
I'm guessing you didn't watch it. They portrayed Ludendorff as a bad guy. But most of the Germans were portrayed accurately.
I honestly think it’d be far better if Ares didn’t show up at the end, it’d just fit the themes better if she was simply wrong about Ares’ involvement and had to accept that at the end.
I thought that's what they were gonna do because that would've been the only real character growth possible by the end of the movie... but NOPE.
Absolutely agree, also the fight scene was boring as shit but I i dont think we should blame the director because it was probably the higher ups who decided that must happen
I agree they could have justified that guy's stupid magic pills by making him the final villain. He could have been like Bane and his overuse of the drug could kill him after Diana spares him in the end.
Or if Ares is just an arms dealer or something. Just, ultimately he doesn't pose a physical threat and isn't the direct cause of the war.
She was wrong about Ares’ involvement. She thought he was responsible for the war, and it turns out he wasn’t.
Ralph has given Zack Snyder more character growth than Zack Snyder could ever give any of his characters

Yeah, let's publish a 45-minute video at six in the morning on a Sunday.
ayyy Dr Shaym
Hey its a Ralph video so I'm not complaining
Dr Shaym It's 12am for me
Probably just finished the upload/render or whatever
What are you doing here?
I feel like Patty Jenkins probably wanted the more simple ending because the film was clearly building up to the message about the gray morality of war. But I'm sure that Warner Bros was like "that's not big enough bad guy fight need to happen durrr"
Even if WB wanted a big fight scene jenkins could have continued with her "things are more grey than black and white.”But she doesnt.
Its a big problem with Hollywood in general. Lots of movies that have the main conflict being an emotional one between two close characters or the character trying to overcome their own flaws always stuff a big cliche villain in for the climax.
You should put the blame on Geoff Johns.
Cough, Palpatine in rise of Skywalker, cough.
@@jackwhite7955 Palpatine was the best thing in that trilogy.
Germans probably thought that it was pretty unfair for Brits having the Wonder Woman on their side in the First World War, but nobody would listen if you told them you lost the war because a bulletproof woman smashed your lines and destroyed your super weapon project, so they just blamed Jews for the defeat and then they wanted to a rematch.
And that's how Wonder Woman indirectly caused the Second World War and Holocaust.
When you think about it, it makes a lot of sense so Wonder Woman caused more harm than good at the end of the day and next 21 years.
Me: * grabs tin foil hat *
Yes its funny how at Hitler's Nuremburg rallies Wonder Woman is never given a mention, I guess Hitler was secretly just too humiliated to bring it up.
Funny thing is that Gal Gadot is an Israeli, so that makes sense lol
Bepis That actually makes sense tbh
Ralph: "Towards the last 20 minutes or so I thought I was crying but then I checked and it was just my eyes bleeding"
I cried in the theater while watching the movie honestly... Oh no, not because it was emotional it was because we finally got color in a dceu film.
Ikr?
I was sad when Steve died although I wish they change the ending and also the villain doctor poison motivations and maker a complex or the character like Magneto is to Charles Xavier
That has to be my favorite line Ralph has ever said.
Actually, weirdly enough, the scene in BVS where kryptonite was found had bright colours in it.
batman Inconsistency? In a DCEU movie? Dude it’s all good the film more than makes up for it by adding an incredibly hard to see, in the dark fight between Superman and Batman.

I like how Wonder Woman takes place in WWI which proves her wrong because it only got worse in WWII beating Ares did nothing.
I was joking Ed
I was with this movie until the last 10 minutes. Whole thing built to the point that killing one guy won't stop the war and that real problems are more nuanced.
Then the bad guy she had to kill shows up literally twirling his mustache.
I share a similar opinion, this movie is like a 6/10 until the end and it becomes far worse
retlaw83 I hate when comic book movies end with a boss fight.
I think having Ares show up could have been ok idea, if it was still 1916 or 1917, with the twist that it wasn't Ares who caused the WW I, but WW I that drawn Ares. This way his death doesn't end the war, but the movie still gets its climactic CGI battle.
Pretty much, yeah. There were some issues I had with it (like the beach fight, I felt that thing was terrible staged, it made the amazons look like idiots for giving up their position), but those were mostly minor flaws I could have accepted with they had pulled off the ending. I would put Wonder Woman on one level with Ironman 3, which is also a movie which mostly works for me until the last 20 minutes really mess everything up.
To be fair, if I had that mustache I would be twirling it too.

Because Americans think the Germans were the bad guys in WW1 too
@@Zaob36 no its because Patty Jenkins was copying Captain America
Because movie
@@mattrogersftw It wasn't "at one point" - both sides did it pretty much right around the same time. The Germans technically held the first attack but it was a disaster that exposed their own lines to the chemical agent. The only bad folks in the war were the ones in charge, which is why so many empires wouldn't exist by the end of the war as their own people turned on them and created new countries in their place.
Boaz Sardjoe Ironically, the only guy who didn’t want to blame Germany for the war afterwards was the American President. It’s funny how things have gotten kinda switched around.
I fell out of my chair laughing when you showed they reused the same shot of her jumping into the bell tower for the last shot, and then the production budget.
xunknowedx Oh god that was laughably bad. I still think that the perfect way for this movie to end would be if they cut back to present day and it’s shown she was telling her story to Bruce Wayne.
I also laughed at the young Diane jumping off a cliff. And reusing the same “what the!” audio
Those last minutes with Zack was some mind-bending shit
It made me feel sad. Goodbye Zack Snyder. You were the best worst director.
I like the idea of his impressions and fictional characters being sentient and he is just some mastermind who uses them for entertainment.

Wassup Matt.
Honestly the prospect of people crying watching this film on theaters is hilarious to me
@Justin Gary Nothing against Gal Gadot but I just can't get over her horrible and weak acting.
Life unworthy of life.
I sheaded a tear, but I didn't cry so to speak. I mean, this plot is nothing I haven't seen before.
I was crying too, but not in the way the film makers wanted me to.
Yea god forbid people have emotions seeing themselves on screen lol.
I think the Reason this Movie was so well received was because this is
a) easily the best Superhero Movie with a female main Lead (Which is a pretty low bar to set) and
b) probably the best DCEU Movie (also a a pretty low bar).
It's like comparing rotten Food with Shit.
@@Visitormassacre ya but like really bad fast food.
I agree. If you compare this to MCU movies, it would be a nice effort, but just okay. I found many of the fight scenes in Wonder Woman as disjointed as the fight scenes in all other DCEU movies. A lot of tight shots with few wide establishing shots and when they do cut wide, it never really lines up with the close shot. Continuity is bad. Characters are in poses or position impossible based on the close angle. I don’t know exactly, just don’t flow like MACU fight scenes. It’s easy to get lost and not know who is hitting who.
When compared to other DCEU movies, this is a masterpiece. A good analogy, “compare rotten food to shit”.
@sudha bhatt Agreed.
So Wonder Woman is fast food, Man of Steel is expired food, Justice League is fecal matter.
I'd say Suicide Squad was throw-up, and Dawn of Justice was a placenta left in the sun.
@sudha bhatt I cannot fathom how one can enjoy Wonder Woman more than Guardians 2. Guardians 2 has like a flawless script, every single character has a payoff or at least grows over time, it's got humor, it's got themes, it's got a stellar cast, and it makes you cry for the death of a blue guy that was a secondary antagonist in the last movie.
Idea: Wonder Woman storms the trenches and slays most of the Germans, but after she is done she looks upon the carnage. These are conscripts given guns, not warriors. Some can be bleeding out, other crying out for god or mother or whatever, and there's this one German holding his dying friend while he points a gun at WW. She doesn't do anything, she feels pity, sadness, and disgust for herself. Then the allied soldiers kill the remining Germans and even the wounded ones while Chris Pratt kills the one pointing a gun at WW. Thus she learns this isn't the glory of war she has experienced by brutal and cruel
Brendan Murphy FYI, Star Lord isn't in this movie
Another idea: Wonder Woman finds that despite her best efforts she hasn't managed to quell mankind's warlike nature. However, she can provide a better example for the human race. Cut to the final scene: an older Steve Trevor fights alongside his men in World War II. Everything seems hopeless until an Angel-of-Mons-type figure appears to save the lives of his men.
Eh? Eh?
Damn, why aren't you working on the script for DC movies?
Yes please
Man this would be really cool since it could become so inspired by wartime literature like Night by Elie Wiesel or The Book Thief (these involve WW2 but still). It's a disappointment that they only acknowledge a theme but don't do something like you've done and try to flesh it out. The point of having characters and plot is to use it to really show what you are trying to say without explaining it blatantly, so the audience can really take it in and experience what you want them to know. Well done dude
This video had a better plot twist than Wonder Woman.

Roasted bruv, roasted.
At the beginning of the movie I was deadass expecting one of the women to yell "Skyrim belongs to the Nords" because of the accents
poap **B E G O N E S T O R M C L O A K E R***
I agree with Ralph's rant around the halfway point. I thought Wonder Woman would end with her skewering Ludendorff, realizing he isn't Ares/that Ares doesn't exist at all... Chris Pine would have his same speech about how the real evil behind the war is just in men, and then the movie would end on a sad note... Diana would go into hiding in London, learn that Steve and his squad got killed disposing of the nerve gas plane... It all weighs on her for years and years, but it emboldens her by the time Justice League comes around. Would've been more moving that way, I feel.
One thing I've always liked about Ralph's reviews is that even though he critically shreds movies apart, he understands why people can enjoy it and mentions that
Everyone was talking about the No Mans Land scene like it was the second coming of Christ, but when I saw it...I was just like “oh....okay.” It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t the best scene in the movie like everyone claimed it was.
Edit: I also hated the plot twist because I REALLY wanted the plot twist to be that Ares wasn’t in this movie, and that people were just shitty. It seemed to undercut what could’ve been a pretty good message.
Naja i laughed during that scene. She looked like a cheerleader, her acting was so bad 😂😂
Ngl, but I kept thinking of those stock movie scenes that'd be in a movie when the characters are at the movie theater since the music was way over dramatic and the cliched dialogue and the whole bit especially with a big star like Chris Pine, and everything lol
She would die because MACHINE GUNS
I agree. I hated the interstellar like narration of “people just need love” or whatever. That really upset me.
Naja Thank you to everything you said. I was bored beyond words and I thought I was going to have a religious experience from watching this movie.
Ralph the Windows Movie Maker
Your pfp explains my feelings right now perfectly
Dammit, Zack Synder had more character development than Wonder Woman.
Too true. The plot twist was honestly rather gripping and kinda sad.
It would've been a way better plot twist, if Chris Pine would've been Ares, betraying her, it would've given great conflict in the Justive League, where she would have massive trust issues or something.
or they never use and waste ares in that film, and focus on making the human villains better. in that way they wouldnt waste 3 villains and the message wouldnt lost its value
Heck, make Ares not even a real person. Just some made up scapegoat to try to simply the complexities of people’s motives.
@@SharkyMcSnarkface Ehhhh...Ares is to Zeus as Harry is to Peter Parker

Eren Jaegar I don't see why not. Family Guy does this shit all the time and people still find it funny somehow. (I'm kidding, that is the worst aspect of that show, even back in the good seasons)
The “love” monologue at the end made me grown audibly in the theater.
Having the one female superhero movies final message about how “love can only truly save the world” made me barf. Like every woman needs love to defeat anything. Also the end of the movie going against everything Chris Pine said at the end pissed me off I appreciate you pointing that out.
Gotta love how the movie totally discards and then goes against it's entire message and theme right at the climax. -__-
If not for that sheer fucking atrocity of writing, I'd have actually been able to overlook all the other flaws.

“Right over there is where Charles died.”
“Who the hell is Charles?”
“...Charles Stiles, Mystery Diners.”
This man pops out of his coffin, "Charles Stiles, mystery diners"
I’m honestly so glad someone agrees with me? I left the cinema /so/ disappointed, and I was honestly confused to how it gained so many positive reviews. As a girl, I wanted a strong female character to look to, and as a movie lover, I wanted a good film, and I didn’t get either. As you said, she’s flawless- which makes her difficult to relate to. Personally, I’d prefer someone who has flaws, and isn’t perfect, so I’m not looking up to something plastic. Secondly, as you said, I instantly noticed there was little to no development, or story arc. I compared the movie to Iron Man, where Tony isn’t Iron Man at the start- far from it, he has to /earn/ his title, through hardship. Wonder Woman was very much; “oh wow! I have special bracelets” “oh wow! I can wield swords and shields” “oh wow! I can walk across no man’s land”. She didn’t earn her power or title, it was given to her when she didn’t deserve it. Lastly, it was just .. boring. I wanted to leave the cinema at multiple points during the film. I could forgive some of its mistakes if I was entertained, but I wasn’t. (Also, don’t get me started on the ending. I was hoping, so badly, that at least it would follow through with it’s message of her naivety, and that killing one man wouldn’t end the war. I was going to forgive it - and it completely screwed me over).
Before anyone gets mad at me, I tried to like this film, I really did. I can easily see the appeal to young girls, and casual fans, but there are so many flaws that I find it difficult to overlook them. If you enjoy this film, good for you! I don’t shame you at all, you have every right to like it.
Trick Fewell nonsense
my God is Yahweh I do hope so, if she turns out to be a flawed character that isn’t so cookie cutter, then I can certainly learn to love her.
Trick Fewell because of progressive bias in Hollywood. They wanted this movie to do well because it helps feminism or some shit apparently.
She is a greek demi godess of course she's going to be over powered... She was very naive, isnt that an interesting flaw that you can work and create discussion with the other characters with?
@Trick, Wonder Woman does get development in the movie. There's her struggle to help people, while keeping a balance in doing what's right, but not turning to the dark side like Aeres.
It doesn't matter how much someone likes this movie. You have to admit, for a film with as big of a budget as this one has, the CGI is unforgivable.
That ending was the most existential, meta, thoughtful craftsmanship I’ve seen in a UA-cam video this year. Goddamn.
What bugged me was that fact that Wonder Women never respected or reasoned with Chris Pine. Like Chris Pine says "don't go out there it will give away our cover." And she goes "No, I will do what's right." Then runs out. It was just annoying.
“Hey, bullets are fast and I’m (probably?) faster. Lemme just walk through a kill-all-things zone like I’m taking a stroll.”
"I can probably block that really big bullet from the sky."
The second they see her they can just fucking mortar all of the bunker killing everyone

My main problem with this movie was how much they disregarded the historical setting. I mean for fucks sake saying its set in world war one then having a poster of her holding a tank that wasn't entered into service until 1926 is pretty fucking egregious.
THE BRAIN SPECIALIST
In addition:
British and French troops were sitting in the same trench
Chris Pine was flying an eindecker plane, IN 1918!
Ludendorff, a real person, was for some reason an evil cunt (I mean, why Ludendorff and not von Hindenburg? It just seems like they randomly picked him out of a history textbook without doing any research, not to mention the fact that they should have probably just made up the villain)
French borders on maps were entirely inaccurate for the period
And many, many more...
Jurassicparkrules96 I expect people to do basic research, I'm not asking for Saving Private Ryan style accuracy, just basic things, like idk not having a tank that was entered into service 8 years after the war the movie is set in on the poster.
But can their Native American climb ANYTHING?
I would have had the twist be that there was no ares, and that the amazonians made it up because they didn’t want her to know that this world is very complicated.
Sputterbugz yeah it would've been great but instead we got two twist that were predictable. Wonder Woman being the weapon and that old mustache guy who is ares.
They didn't even experienced the moral complexity of the war. The Germans the she killed were just soldiers. Soldiers! Following orders. She didn't even try to save a single one of them. Just blasted them all. And not fucking single scratch comes on her for whole movie
Y'all seem to forget that WW2 happens after WW1. The world is still complicated because Ares was right. Ares was already dead at that point. A lot of people say that what Wonder Woman said at the beginning of Justice League doesn't make sense. Why would she leave humanity behind when the war already ended and Ares was dead? Because (surprise surprise) *WW2 happened* and it was more bloody and deadly that the previous one
Not really completely defending the movie (especially her acting because she could be the next Tommy Wiseau) (except some parts that are actually good). Just want to clarify about this "plot hole" everyone keeps claiming and also how "pointless" Ares was in the film
I get the feeling that the Wonder Woman movie was originally supposed to take place in World War 2, but then somebody realized that it would make it TOO close to the first Captain America movie.
The thing is that during WW1, there weren't any real political or ideological differences between the different sides. It would have been interesting to see Wonder Woman reacting to seeing the Allied forces using chemical weapons on the German soldiers, or to learn that the reason for the entire war that had killed hundreds of thousands was that this one guy got assassinated and he was married to this one woman whose family were the rulers of this other country. The soldiers in WW1 weren't really fighting for much of a cause other than the leaders of their countries were involved in some really complex alliances that were the result of intermarrying.
So instead of trying to portray it in a more complex way, they just decided to make the Germans evil like they were Nazis and then also threw in impossibly advanced weapons because it worked well in Captain America.
Not only would that have been seen as spitting all over the source material, but it also would’ve meant that all the mystical elements of the film would’ve been left completely unexplained.
im just so sick of seeing the same final act all the time: hero's fighting a big grey supervillain in an apocalyptic setting
james coggins
you watched the nando vs movies video?
Flaming Fuse no i haven't, what is it?
Was anyone annoyed that she's fighting this battle against another supernatural being, with fire, explosions and yet she still looks flawless throughout the whole thing? No scrapes, smudged makeup, no grime, no nothing?! Look at the end of Frodo and Sam's journey in Return of The King, they did it right by showing the characters' appearance to be tattered, dirty, with tear streaks, chapped lips and shit, their faces reflecting the hardship they went through.
darkprince56 Maybe its because she's a god and can't really be harmed or take any real damage.
JedMesa then the same could be said for other superheroes who look like they have been through a fight like Thor, Wolverine, Hulk etc
darkprince56. Um? The last wolverine movie I saw had the main character impaled. And didn't Thor lose a freaking eye?
Spider Kid exactly my point! Those characters are shown as capable of being hurt despite their superhero nature. This Diana goes out in the middle of a World War I battlefield and squares up to a god and finishes it looking flawless.
Mediocrity Incarnate gaaaah that bothered me so much also
Ok, I'm just gonna say that at least ONE soldier in that scene where she burst into that room and was surrounded would think to shoot her in the head. There was like five guys in there at point blank range, and she clearly had no helmet (weird tiara thing doesn't count because it covers nothing). She also waited about 10 seconds before moving, so yeah, they would have easily blasted her brains out.
Then Chris dude becomes female and then avenges diana as the new wonder woman.
Now that's one crazy American (but seriously it's stupid they didn't shoot)
can I just say that I cared more about your Zack Snyder skits than I did about Wonder Woman?
Also, what a way to ruin Ares, one of Wonder Woman's best villains and someone she always struggles significantly to defeat.
Of course. What? You expect effort? Effort is risky! Yoú can't make predictions based on focus groups using risks! What madness is this?!
Or what they did with Lex Luthor. An interesting villain turned into a watered down version of the Riddler.
There's this frat video by Nando v Movies called "Disarming Ares" that I advise everyone disappointed with the use of Ares in this film go check out. It's essentially trying to sell the viewers on a rewrite of his entire role in the film, and what is offered sounds infinitely more intriguing and satisfying than what we got.
Gamora is a good example. She's badass and it does not need to be shoved in your face every five seconds that she's a woman. There are amazing female characters that are good because of the character not their gender. I feel like this movie was advertised entirely on the fact that she's a woman.
Last time I checked Gamora is the love interest in a movie that's not her own. So the comparison is moot.
Wonder Woman didnt spit in your face that she is a woman
His sub-stories are so goddamn entertaining. That shit with Zach Snyder-especially that final clip of him leaving Zach on the phone smiling-wasn’t just funny, but had like, emotional weight to it. Ralph is an exceptionally gifted film maker and story teller for sure.
Russ in boots out of 10
Honestly wish he'd make a second review of that on this channel
I think it's funny that this movie acts like germany was full of nazis even before WWII when the aftermath of WWI was what drove germany into fascism. Germany was originaly not even fighting the war for themselves, yet the germans are war hungry madmen who get manipulated by a war god in this movie. And speaking of Ares, that's some horrible casting.
France and England intentionally ruined Germany in the peace treaty after the war in an effort to cripple and potentially even destroy them. It all dates back to Holy Roman Empire politics, you know, important stuff schools totally don't know how to teach, or even bother discussing...
But yeah that backfired horribly...
planescaped Eyup. I really don't get why this isn't as well known when World War 2 gets tought or at least mentioned in every major country. I'm happy I know about it, since I am german. World War 1 and 2 are both huge parts of our history that make up a huge part of our history lessons to ensure it's not forgotten. But I think being german should not be the requirement to know the full story. You would think at least the other involved countrys would spend comparable time teaching it.
General Ludendorff and Dr. Poison were the only major German players that were war-hungry madmen in the movie. There's a scene near the beginning of the second act where Ludendorff gases an entire room of German higher-ups that want to sign the Armistice and end the war because they've been crippled by it. One of Ludendorff's advisers mentions that going forward with the conflict won't work because all of their soldiers haven't eaten or slept, and I know that I'm saying this about German soldiers, I'm well aware, but they were just following orders. Yeah, I probably could have phrased that better.
Von and it's not like they had the option of not fighting. As a normal citizen, you either had the choice of dying on the battlefield as a supposed "hero" or in prison as a traitor.
Ludendorff was kind of a Nazi. Well, a fascist and a white supremacist. He was one of Hitler’s political rivals. Although I don’t like their portrayal of him as a crazy angry evil Nazi person. As a history buff, it really rubbed me the wrong way.
Lol really brilliant way to handle your Zack Snyder bit after what happened, ralph. Awesome.

I feel like people are trying too hard to create 'good' female characters. Sure, getting more females into movies and other media is noble, but doing that at the cost of the character and writing only perpetuates the lack of interesting female characters.
Up is the character that was underdeveloped . this film was marketed to DEATh. of course it was never going to recoup the money the studios spent on it
Declan Nolan it is pretty sad. I wish there were more iconic female characters that are just characters, not Strong Female Characters™. Meaning, I wish people just wrote strong characters that are also female. But because it's forced it kills the intention
People gave BR2049 shit for it's female characters, but they were far more interesting and well acted than any female character in Wonder Woman!!
They probably hated BR2049 for the fact that the women weren't STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMEN WHO DON'T NEED NO MAN and didn't one up a man every scene.
I saw this at a drive-in with my estranged father and was fucking bored the whole time but couldn't put my finger on why. I immediately went home and told my sister "i can't wait till Ralph comes out with a video on this movie"
Ryan Godspeed
I didn't want to take the time to dissect it myself. That would have given it too much power over me
I'd just like to say something about the picture you showed of wonder woman holding up that tank
First of all, that's a T-28 that was made in Soviet Russia. Second, the T-28 is twice the size it is in the picture. Third, a single T-28 prototype was done by 1931, production didn't start till 1933. The move takes place in at latest 1917 France. The only turreted tank in the world at that point was the FT-17, which was a two person tank even smaller than the T-28 is shown in the picture. At least that one was French.
I'm counting that up as a "Hey Jerry find us a tank that she can be holding up" "Okay what were those tanks like?" "I think they had multiple turrets" (They had multiple guns but not turrets) if you google "multi turreted tank" you'll mostly find T-28's and variants and a few M3 Lee memes. Case solved.
The movie set up an amazing moral for itself, but then brutally murdered their own moral for a dumb ending.
Oh my god how did I not notice they reused the same jump from the town scene!?
Lol
the WW1 aspect bothered me - it was a very messy war with no real bad guy and no good guy, it was just war. they had a chance to play this as a really interesting story having the Germans not be generic evil nazi's but they did -_x
I too feel like they just sed WW1 as a backdrop with a bare bones explanation as to why Dyana was there . Lieut. Luddendorff was just a prop. I can think of many scenes that need to be edited down to a few sec in favor of character development for the nazi characters. They made appear so one dimensional. it was terrible.
Mankind was the villain. Not Ludendorf, Doctor Poison Ares, or even the Germans. Yes. Even history would try to paint the Germans as the bad guys, but the British let their soldiers, and innocent people in Veld, die in order to preserve the armistice. I'm not talking history either. This is in the film. Wonder Woman tries to prevent this and can't. She learns that all men are capable of the worst atrocities, but they are also good. She participated in the bloodshed, and she refused to kill people again after she killed Ares. She witnessed a century of horrors and allowed it to continue, because she refused to add to it. This is the second darkest DC Film behind Batman v Superman.
Jews just hate tall,blonde,Aryans.
Yea I felt the same with ralph also, how most of these soldiers were forced to go into war and how most of them were 18-20 year old men, but no, she kills them mercilessly
The Austrio-Hungarian Empire were the victims if anything. Not to mention that it was France and England's fucking of them so hard after WW1 that directly led to the rise of fascism in Germany and WW2. Then there's the Ottoman Empire being forcibly dismantled and it's borders redrawn to cause the most internal conflict possible in the middle east in a knowing and intentional effort to halt the rise of another Ayyubid/Abbasid/Fatmid/Ottoman Caliphate... yeah. Good Job Allies!
Though I can't blame them too much for fucking over the Middle East so completely. Muslims being scary isn't a new thing...
Your Zach Snyder expressions made this the best movie review ever. They're cartoonishly hilarious and I adore them.
A bit late to the party but, yes, what you said about posing prevented me from watching this. Even in trailers, i couldn't stomach it. Literally everything I've seen suffered from being shot in a way that would be cringe-inducing even for a parody of a hero movie. It's so forced and overly expressive that it made me uncomfortable. I wouldn't be surprised if there are scenes in the movie where Gal Gadot orders food in McDonald's in some theatrically epic fashion. Have you guys watched Bedazzled? You know the Sunset scene? Well, somehow, Wonder woman goes beyond that and not only that, it goes beyond that in every shot.
Ralph, don't you know that the Amazons just speak with an Israeli Greek British Scandinavian New England accent?
RealZodiacKiller And sometimes with a hint of Irish
Dang, the RalphTheMovieMaker lore is getting deep
Brilliant way to retire the Zach Snyder character.
You know I totally forgot this was supposed to be in wwi even with the trench scene the villains were way too nazi like
Wait, it was WW1? I couldn't tell!
Why is there always a porn scene used in the DC movie reviews.. Ralph?
It’s made for the fans
Gives you a taste of how much better the actual thing could've been.
Porn parodies of DC Movies look waaaay better than actual DC movies. Especially Suicide Squad one.
Remember, these reviews are made for dc fans in general
Cause watching DC Movies is the visual equivalent of getting fucked?
How tf did Ralph get Zack Snyder to be in his video
He donated his ass
So can you just reupload the Zack Snyder reviews Justice League video?
The Vagabond yeah. i saw it in my notifications but i didnt get to watch it :(
To be completely honest, I liked Wonder Woman. But I also like how you give a different perspective.
Someone who can disagree but understand?? Holy shit??? A civilized person on the Internet!
@@metachrist723 The guy in this video isn't civilized like at all...He is pretentious and reactionary and get many things wrong and doesn't care.
@@dignerds lmao miss me with that wonder woman pic and that's the point guess what people have different tastes than you and I for one quite enjoy Ralph and he has the right to be "pretensious" because he is a movie maker as his name suggests and they are great so he has perspective on movies none of us do and I wasn't even taking about Ralph I was replying to the comment above my first one
John Wonder What things, exactly did he get wrong? What makes him pretentious? I didn’t really see a lot of that in here.
@@PanzerPlant Well...one of the MANY things this piece of shit UA-camr got wrong is "Fighting a woman".....Diana wasn't fighting a woman ...she was fighting Ares....
What the fuck that ending was so surreal, like all the way up to the credits. I don't know what you did but it made me sad. Nice job.
SHE CAN NEVER KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT SHE IS...BECAUSE...REASONS
Pan M she doesn’t stay a child forever. Even when they let her go, they don’t tell her what she is, even though she was supposed to fight ares.
if it was because she was a child they wouldn't say she can "never" know the truth, they'd say something about making sure she can have a real childhood, or to not burden or confuse her in her youth.
Bad writing. Actually, fucking terrible writing. ACTUALLY should be illegal writing.
Reasons is my Intel guy
@Pan M But it's her *destiny?????*
@Pan M And then she sends her to fight Ares.
After the general was proven not be Ares I thought that it would turn out that Ares didn't even exist, like idk maybe he died or was never real in the first place and Diana had to actually learn something from it. Still think that would be better.
Because it would trip up the character's understanding of reality if a person that was supposed to be a scapegoats for men's foibles didn't exist.
She would actually have to accept that fact. An alternative would be that Aries does exist but was never involved and the movie hinted that he was doing something else or nothing at all.
Or better Aries does exist but simply choses not to interfere as mankind is fully capable of war without his interference.
Me too, i thought that Ares was just a metaphore...
Or a twist that Ares was a good guy. It'd be hard to explain, but it'd be an interesting turn in the movie.
She still did learn something, she realized that humans are the cause of war, it’s just Ares heightened it a little.
Is it just me or zack snyder's face looks like Superman's in Justice League.
I guess that mean ralph also predicted justice league
Lmao Justice League wishes they had that good of CGI
Goodbye Sack Znyder you will always be the most loved awful director in our hearts
Brandon Jose Michael Bay and Joel Schumacher are worse
Mister B. Yes
Thank you so fucking much for putting this up. I've been attacked for weeks for saying the same thing and wondering why nobody else noticed it. People seem to think I should love this sub-par movie because I'm a woman and I should be empowered, and some of my female friends actually got legitimately angry and disappointed at me for disliking it. Which is pretty damn sexist in itself. I'm sorry that it takes more than just putting a woman in the lead to make me think a movie is great. Critically, its just not that good. Am I happy to see a leading lady? Yes. But is that going to make me ignore all of the obvious flaws in this film? Fuck no. Thanks again, Ralph. I've been waiting for someone to say it, and you've said it all extremely well.
Sincerely,
That One Bitch That Didn't Like Wonder Woman
Bella Rose Lewis thank you I feel same way about this movie An black movies just because there black or a women doesn’t mean I’m going to love the damn movie. An I don’t need ppl trying to pressure me into liking because I’m a woman or black . How silly is that .
You're not alone, I'm a woman and this movie was so lazy and boring, and GG can't act.
Amen to that! That is completely ridiculous. People shouldn't be limited to only liking certain movies. We should just be allowed to like what we like. End of story.
I appreciate that she had charisma and seemed to be really trying giving the role 100% but I don't think she had the talent or expirience to pull off a lead role quite yet. It seemed her appearance fit the role much more than her acting skills did, which is pretty disappointing and ironic for a film that was meant to begin a movement for strong female roles in Hollywood.
Speak the gospel!!
DC movies have set the bar so low that all Wonder Woman had to do was be competent to get people to like it.
Also, in case anyone was wondering, the porn star who played Wonder Woman is Romi Rain.
thank you, your doing god's work sir
Lol Who’d care about that fat ugly specimen? Apart from the virgin above me I mean
@@joejitsu034 Just because you're not interested is no reason to call someone fat and ugly (I bet you're fun at parties). Also pro tip: Don't call people specimen. It just makes you sound like Jimmy Neutron if he was an asshole.
The first one in the screen shot is Kimberly Kane which is 100 times better just sayin
DC movies at this point are better then marvel
I'm glad women feel properly represented by this movie, because as a German I feel fucking offended by this.
Germany was NOT a Nazi state in WW1. Germans, just like EVERYONE ELSE IN EUROPE, were excited about the war initially and wanted it to be a glorious victory to parade in. But what everyone got out of this war was a miserable meatgrinder that killed thousands upon thousands of Soldiers who didn't even to be there.
and we all still pay the heavy price for it today
Germany wasn’t portrayed as a Nazi state in the movie. The only German who was depicted as being evil was Ludendorff. The very end of the movie showed German soldiers hugging one another.
fuck man as an austrian i fucking get this
every german villain in ever american movie is a nazo and it's so unfair
Yeah a war that Germany started causing million and millions of deaths.
@@adama.7735 No. They are predicted as evil in this movie. Where are the allies war crimes in this movie? Where does it show the allies gassing a town full of German civilians?
Some of your best work to date. I appreciate your analysis and the creative structure of your videos. Weaving a multi-video story-arc into this video with referential easter eggs is clever. Cohesive editing, subtle use of background music, and over-all script are particularly good.
*didnt get a notification for this video*
" _Thanks UA-cam_ "
hit the bell
When they said that’s no mans land I thought she was going to say I’m no man.
Ben Blurganson which is good that she didn't say that. It just goes to show that the movie making aren't manhaters. By the way when I was walking into this movie I thought it was going to be some man hating feminist garbage but it was actually not. I was surprised
Like in Lord of the rings?
That would be stupid because on the boat, she literally said that she was "the man who can."
If they wanted to be real ballsy, they should've made Steve Ares, I mean yeah, it isn't comic accurate, but it'll probably be better than professor Lupin
LMAO exactly. I just keep seeing Wonder Woman fighting Remus Lupin rather than Ares. 😂
@@Lauren_210 I just think he looks like Ned Flanders
We should all put Ralph in charge of DC since his shorts are better than entire fucking DC movies
The CGI of Zack Snyder's face was better than the CGI in the movie
The lore Ralph sets up for his little characters is truly why I watch these reviews
What's worse is that they bizarrely chose to make take Ludendorff, an actual historical WWI German general, and turn him into a villain. And the one in the movie is nothing like his historical counterpart.
Hell, in the movie Ludendorff wants to continue the war. But historically he was one of the first to convince the Kaiser the war was lost.
